Question

I want to show the directory but the messagebox show this: system.__ComObject

 Public Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        filesystem = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
        ThisDir = filesystem.GetFolder("F:\-=Temporal=-\Documentos\DVD Temazos\")

       '1st try
        MessageBox.Show(ThisDir.ToString())

       '2nd try
       Dim a As String = CType(ThisDir, String)
       MessageBox.Show(a)
  end sub

What i’m doing wrong?

thankyou

If you really want to work with the FileSystemObject, you have to call the Name property to get the name of the folder:

MessageBox.Show(ThisDir.Name)

But i would recommend to use the .NET classes in the namespace System.IO like System.IO.Directory
